For each of the figures below, I have visualized what the covariate values are for the CRW PA positions and observed positions. Some values were extracted using the ROMS data, and thus limiting the position range to this domain. I have also explored the covariate values using the full range of the available positions using covariate files from Copernicus (CMEM). Please note that the lists of covariates selected for each data source do vary depending on what was recommended and available.

The covariate values explored on this page are all from the surface, and thus depth is not yet considered in this analysis.

Lastly, for each collection of a shark’s observed positions, there are 32 replicate PA CRW tracks for the CMEM domain and 16 replicate tracks for the ROMS domain.

CMEM figures

The figures below only represent covariate values for observed positions. PA positions were omitted from this analysis due to the quantity.

Covar vs. covar scatter

Below are some comparisons of the covariate values relative to each other for the observed positions (covariate values at PA positions are excluded).

Still need to do: DO vs. AGI, Temp vs. AGI, lat vs. AGI, lon vs. AGI,

Select shark analyses

include how covar values change over time or latitude or longitude (scatter plot?) as it travels through its track
